Chazal state that the first five mentions of "light" in Bereishis correspond to the fie books of the Torah. This volume on Sefer Shemos takes its title from the second of these five references: "And there was light."

Rabbi Goodman's first volume on Sefer Bereishis, There Shall Be Light, received much enthusiastic approbation from gedoleiTorah. In this work on Shemos, Rabbi Goodman again draws from both ancient and modern commentaries. Almost all of these sources have not been available in English translation- until now. Rabbi Goodman has also inserted comments of his own based on decades of teaching Torah in yeshivah high schools.

With long and short essays, readers will find a wealth of interesting interpretations and intriguing ideas in And There Was Light. A must for both scholar and layman.
